phantom cig

When it feels as if you have a cigarette lodged behind your ear, even though you don't. Commonly experienced by smokers who often hold cigs there temporarily. Also known as a phantom fag (in the UK).

Two people go for a smoke; smoker A pulls a cig out from behind their ear and lights up.

Smoker B: *checks pockets* "Aw shit. Hey mate, do you mind if I borrow one?"

Smoker A: Oh sure *checks ear despite fag already in hand* oh wait, I'm already smoking that one. Stupid phantom cig.
